Locals, celebrities and even royalty are attracted to the area’s unique blend of fantastic schools, sporting pursuits, picturesque countryside, fabulous food, and artisan shopping. The prosperous village centre is brimming with independent shops, pubs and restaurants, including an award-winning cheese specialist, a traditional butcher, an organic deli, The Herd restaurant (justly famous for its steaks!), and traditional Italian food at Nino’s Trattoria.
